National Geographic
Inside The Mega Twister (2015)
The tornado that struck El Reno, Oklahoma, on May 31, 2013, defined superlatives. It was the largest, one of the fastest, and—for storm chasers—the most lethal twister ever recorded on Earth. Among those it claimed was Tim Samaras, revered as one of the most experienced and cautious scientists studying tornadoes. But this storm was unlike any he had witnessed before. In this National Geographic Special, we unravel the tornado and tell its story. But this is not your typical storm chasing documentary. While this film will include many firsthand accounts and harrowing videos from scientists and amateurs in pursuit of the tornado, it was also probably the best documented storm in history and these clips are part of a unique and ever-growing database documenting every terrifying twist and turn of the storm from all angles.
Compiling this archive is National Geographic grantee Dr. Anton Seimon. In the wake of the tragedy, Seimon has gathered all the video footage available of the storm and organised it into a synchronized, searchable database. Using Google Earth he’s pinpointed the exact location of every camera pointing at the storm. And using patterns of lightning strikes he’s synchronised every frame of video down to the second. When analysed alongside radar data, it enables us to peel back the layers and offer minute by minute, frame by frame analysis of the tornado, accompanied by some state-of-the-art CGI animations. The result is an extraordinary journey through the storm that’s unprecedented....

LARGEST TORNADO EVER!!! From Birth to Death (w/ Radar & Commentary) 5-31-13

At 2.6 Miles wide, this is the largest Tornado ever recorded. Touchdown was near El Reno Oklahoma on 5-31-13. This tornado was very deceptive to many due to its appearance and size. The bulk of what you are seeing at 2:50 is a large wedge tornado. When the base lifts and flattens at around 3:05 it gave the \"tornado\" a mesocyclone appearance and when it started dropping large sub-vorticies many chasers lost sight of the big picture. At around 6:02, the tornado is taking up almost the entire frame, however the huge sub-vorticies to the lower right appear to be the only point of ground rotation. What many thought were several tornadoes was in fact just 1. At time code 6:30, this is a separate, smaller anticyclonic tornado.
DECEIVING IN APPEARANCE:
This 2.6 mile wide tornado received an EF3 rating... There is an intermediate circulation between a mesocyclone and a tornado called a \"tornado cyclone.\" Often the lines between these features are blurry. When this tornado first touched down it took on a classic wedge shape, but then the bottom truncated or flattened out and the wedge transitioned to a tornado cyclone. Under the tornado cyclone if you look closer you\'ll see a brief smaller tornado or two touch down.. these are suction vortices. Underneath this flat truncated tornado cyclone, almost invisible winds are causing damage on a the scale of a weak tornado. Therefore, the entire area underneath the tornado cyclone is by definition a tornado. The majority of this tornado was only causing EF1 damage, however the highly powerful suction vortices packed winds well o...

It includes more detailed tornado and storm chaser tracks, including the entire chase route taken by Tim and Paul Samaras, and Carl Young courtesy Gabe Garfield. This video also makes several suggestions on where the public and chasers made mistakes while maneuvering under this storm and what they could have done differently to stay out of harm\'s way.

Read this frequently asked questions (FAQ) on the El Reno encounter: http://stormhighway.com/blog2013/sept2713a.php
(Read descripton and transcript below) This is video from my front-facing and later rear-facing dash camera while escaping the core of, and hit by the outer circulation of, the EF5 El Reno, Oklahoma tornado in my Toyota Yaris on Reuter Road between 6:16PM and 6:30PM CDT on May 31, 2013. CDT time shown on-screen is based on GPS time, synced with US official time and accurate to the second. Road intersections are shown as the vehicle encounters them.
I am attempting to narrate what is happening for the main video camera. My voice transcription is as follows:
6:17:29 \"I want to find an east road here, I\'m getting a little to close. I need to start looking for the east (road) option\". The tornado was moving east at this point. I didn\'t want to go farther south and risk not being able to reach the next east road option to the south after Reuter Road.
6:17:45 \"Power flashes\". The tornado is damaging the power lines up ahead and causing arcing. The streetlight goes out.
6:18:18 \"New wall cloud\". Another area of circulation was organizing to the north.
6:18:28 \"The wedge is rain wrapped\". Referring to the main wedge tornado about a mile to the south.
6:18:57 \"I don\'t like getting in front of tornadoes I can\'t see, especially huge wedges\". Referring to why I don\'t want to go farther south than Reuter Road.
6:19:56 \"What is that? I don\'t like the looks of that.\" I am surprised to see what looks like the tornado to the south rapidly approaching th...

Among those in storm observing community, the May 31, 2013 El Reno tornado will long be remembered as one of the most dangerous storms we\'ve dealt with. Tragically, eight people died in this tornado, including four storm chasers. This video is an effort to make sure that we don\'t see a repeat of this tragic situation. It\'s intended for storm spotters/chasers who have some storm observation experience, but the information is important for anyone.
